Weight loss in milligrams (mg) of composite resin materials after 14 days of immersion in different teas
| Composite Resin | Distilled Water | Black tea | Rooibos tea | Peppermint tea |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Estelite Palfique Paste | −0.10 (−0.10 – 0.20)A,a | 0.10 (−0.80 – 0.70)A,a | 0.00 (−0.60 – 0.30)A,a | 0.00(−0.50 – 0.50)A,a |
| Estelite Posterior | 0.20 (−0.30 – 0.50)AB,b | 0.10 (−0.80 – 0.80)AB,a | 0.15(0.00–0.30)B,a | −0.10(−0.50 – 0.20)A,a |
*Values are presented as Median (Min–Max). Different uppercase letters (A,B) indicate statistically significant difference between staining conditions for each composite resin (horizontal comparison: Bonferroni−adjusted Mann–Whitney test, p < 0.0083). Different lowercase letters (a,b) indicate statistically significant difference between composite resins within each aging condition (vertical comparison: Bonferroni−adjusted Mann–Whitney test, p < 0.0125)
